[QUOTE][u]Quote by: Anonymous[/u][p]This has been a standard for a while for many GL installations for me.  Though suprsidr has set it up in the past with some secret sauce.  I have been unable to achieve the same effect and I don't understand his latest instructions so I am asking here hoping it can be dumbed down and I can refer to this post in the future for new installations.  This feature allows you to put Blocks where ever you want.  Thus helping with the whole left/right block limitation of the professional theme.

I am trying to add the autotag [showBlock:] to GL 1.6.1.

[quote]Replace using function?	
You must set the $_AUTO_CONF['allow_php'] configuration setting to '1' and be in a group with the autotags.PHP feature in order to modify autotags that call a function to translate the tag.[/quote]

I have added the function to the functions.inc in the autotags plugins directory.

[code]function phpautotags_showBlocks($p1, $p2, $fulltag)
{
	if(!isset($p2)){
		$p2 = '';
	}
	return COM_showBlocks( $p1, $p2, '' );
}

/**
* Formats a Geeklog block
*
* @param array $A Block Record
* @param string $useTemplate Force block template ie. 'left', 'right', 'list'...
* @param bool $noboxes Set to true if userpref is no blocks
* @return string HTML Formated block
*
*/
	function AT_formatBlock( $A, $useTemplate, $noboxes = false ) {
	global $_CONF, $_TABLES, $_USER, $LANG21;
	
	$retval = '';
	
	//$lang = COM_getLanguageId();
	$lang = 'en';
	if (!empty($lang)) {

 }[/code]

I have adjusted the autotags config.

$_AUTO_CONF['allow_php'] = 1;

I have also checked to see if I am in the Autotag Group.  Yes I am admin and I am in the groups.

After asking suprsidr what I am missing, he responded with,

[quote]edit autotags admin to enable autotags php[/quote]

Can anyone tell me what I am missing?  Is he meaning a file in the public_html/admin/plugins/autotags directory?  Is he talking about the Autotags Admin panel?  Is their another configuration panel that is missing?  I don't understand what the direction means.

I found this [url=http://www.geeklog.net/forum/viewtopic.php?showtopic=76738]post[/url] from Blaine in 2007.  I assume that since I am using Autotags 1.2 that this has been address and it isn't causing problems.

Thanks for any help you can offer.
